Campervan Festival 2026

On 5 September 2026, self-built campervans and buses gathered in the courtyard of Põhjala Factory in Tallinn. Held for the fourth time, the festival brought together people who build homes on wheels and enjoy travelling in them.

DATE: 5 September 2026
PLACE: Põhjala Factory, Ankru 10, Tallinn, Estonia
EVENT: Campervan festival

ABOUT THE SERIES

Open doors revealed wooden kitchens, patterned curtains, compact beds and even a record player. Each detail showed how a small space could become a home shaped around its owner’s habits. This photo series moves from a blue-and-white Volkswagen to interiors and small details, then back into the courtyard where visitors explored the vehicles and shared experiences.
